Add KVM_ARM_PMU_PARTITION to enable the partitioned PMU for a given vCPU. Add a corresponding KVM_CAP_ARM_PMU_PARTITION to check for this ability. This capability is allowed on an initialized vCPU where PMUv3 and VHE are supported.
However, because the underlying ability relies on the driver being passed some command line arguments to configure the hardware partition at boot, enabling the partitioned PMU will not be allowed without the underlying driver configuration even though the capability exists.

+4.144 KVM_ARM_PARTITION_PMU +--------------------------- + +:Capability: KVM_CAP_ARM_PARTITION_PMU +:Architectures: arm64 +:Type: vcpu ioctl +:Parameters: arg[0] is a boolean to enable the partitioned PMU + +This API controls the PMU implementation used for VMs. The capability +is only available if the host PMUv3 driver was configured for +partitioning via the module parameters `arm-pmuv3.partition_pmu=y` and +`arm-pmuv3.reserved_guest_counters=[0-$NR_COUNTERS]`. When enabled, +VMs are configured to have direct hardware access to the most +frequently used registers for the counters configured by the +aforementioned module parameters, bypassing the KVM traps in the +standard emulated PMU implementation and reducing overhead of any +guest software that uses PMU capabilities such as `perf`. + +If the host driver was configured for partitioning but the partitioned +PMU is disabled through this interface, the VM will use the legacy PMU +that shares the host partition.
